I have an update from the Shot Show. Background information is the NRA spend a lot of money putting the program in place (we're talking a lot) and the information that the blended program is going away is somewhat premature. The powers that be recognize they have a problem and they are looking at solutions, but nothing is settled at this time.

I teach the old NRA FIRST Steps class. Basic Pistol is TMI for most folks just wanting to get started, and you have to be pretty damn dedicated to set in front of a computer for 8 hours with no human interaction before you get to go to the range, even if you break it up into 15 to 20 minute intervals at a time. The NRA should bring back FIRST Steps taught by an instructor with hands on instruction and then let folks Basic Pistol if they like. There is a lot of good info there.

The best thing that anyone can do keep voicing your concerns to the NRA. Like anyone else, the squeaky wheel gets the grease and the more complaints, the sooner we may get something done about it.
